Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Linksys Phone Adapter with 2 Ports for Voice-over-IP. This Phone Adapter will allow

you to make phone or fax calls using the your broadband connection.

How does the Phone Adapter do this? The Phone Adapter connects your phones or fax machines to your network

router or gateway, so telephone service is delivered through your cable or DSL Internet connection. Each of the

Phone Adapter’s two telephone jacks operates independently, with separate phone service and phone numbers,

so you can have up to two Vonage phone lines per Adapter.

But what does all of this mean? Networks are useful tools for sharing Internet access and computer resources.

With the Phone Adapter, your phones or fax machines can share your high-speed Internet connection and take

advantage of it. You will be able to make phone calls using the account you set up with Vonage, even while

you’re surfing the Internet. So, networks not only are useful in homes and offices, but also can be fun.

Use the instructions in the Quick Installation or this Installation and Troubleshooting Guide to help you connect

the Phone Adapter after you have set up an account with Vonage. These instructions should be all you need to

get the most out of the Phone Adapter.
